Shun Classic 3-Piece Set

The Shun Classic 3-piece set is the perfect grouping for a cook wanting to get into Japanese knives without the trials and tribulations of researching the myriad of choices available in this vast world of cutlery.

The set features a perfect assortment of blades:an 8” chef, a 6” utility, and a 3.5” paring—the holy trinity of knives in most kitchens.

Shun’s Classic line of kitchen knives are renowned for their superior fit and finish as well as their beautiful looks and high performance. They are made with a core of VG-10 stainless steel with a Damascus style layering of SUS410 high carbon stainless steel. This results in a super keen blade that has great edge retention, is easy to sharpen, and will hold its looks with a minimum of fuss.

The Classic knives feature beautifully finished pakka wood handles with stainless end caps. They come with a full lifetime warranty. This 3-piece set is a great value as it shaves almost $200 off the regular retail prices of the individual items.

Great knives, sharp out of box, nice balance, great value. Delivery and service on website was super easy and efficient.

Wow! These knives are beautiful. Wonderfully made. Crazy sharp so have to be extra careful when slicing. The handles are on the smaller side which is nice if you have smaller hands (which I do). Would highly recommend these knives if love to cook!

I purchased the Shun Premier 8 Chef's knife and 4 Paring knife. I was told that this is the same steel as the Shun Classic, so sharpness and quality should be unquestioned. What lead me to these knives is the unbiased handles. We have both a lefty and righty in our kitchen, so someone was going to be uncomfortable with the Classics. Plus, the smaller Classic knives (3 Paring, 7 utility) have a smaller diameter handle. In contrast, the Premiers have an unbiased handle that is larger in diameter and very nicely contoured. It is complimented by a steel end cap. These knives are extremely comfortable and well balanced. Finally, they are beautiful. The blades have a hammered Damascus finish and the handles are hardwood. Out of the box, they are unbelievably sharp. Well worth the investment!

CKTG is at heart a small business so the service is personal. They are one of the rare companies that actually dispatch the order the same day as receiving it and provide tracking information. It is great to deal with an individual by name and it’s evident that they take pride and love in what they do.

Had a problem with one of the products and they went out of their way to resolve. I would highly recommend dealing with this company. It’s nice to find a company who cares and they will get me as a return customer.

Mark is great at answering questions for knife nuts of all levels. His service is second to none. Really appreciate the time he puts into every email as well as the free forum he hosts.

Great experience working with Chef Knives to Go. Quick delivery, and they are great about returning emails. I'm actually waiting on my second knife from them. I'm sure there will be more to come.

Loved the instructional videos on the website.

Great service and quick shipping. Best selection of Japanese knives around. I recommend this site to all of my fellow culinary professionals!

Top quality service. None better.

Always the best. Quick shipping, description matches what is delivered and the price, you can't beat them. I always come here to order anything I might need for the kitchen and I am never disappointed.

I ordered several Christmas presents from Chef Knives To Go. Everything arrived as promised and all who received gifts from there were happy with them.

As always, the shopping experience at Chef Knives to Go was excellent. Fast, free shipping, great website description of the product, and the confidence instilled in me because I know that if there are any problems the good people at Chef Knives to Go will help me work it out.

My go to company for kitchen gear. Awesome selection of knives and tools. Super fast shipping. Never had a problem and questions about all products are answered quickly. Great customer service.
